While Thohir is prepared to give Mancini time to turn things around, the Indonesian businessman has warned his players to deliver a response away to Atalanta on Saturday, after their shock 1-0 loss to Sassuolo last weekend.

"Sunday's match left us speechless, but this is football." he added. "We attacked constantly but the ball refused to go into the net.

"I hope Mancini and the players respond immediately against Atalanta."

With just two points separating the top three teams in the league standings, a win over Atalanta could see Inter regain their spot at the top of the table, should Napoli and Juventus fail to muster a result against Sassuolo and Udinese respectively.
